Using cork's natural pattern and texture as the starting point for his project for Wallpaper* Handmade 2014, US designer Todd Bracher offers up a new twist on the classic material's applications. Teaming up with Portuguese cork manufacturing giant Amorim and using the international company's high-quality product, sourced straight from the country's cork forests, Bracher created a minimalist two-tone jacket out of different cork composites. Watch it come to life on film.
